Location: Israel

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Depends. Maybe.

Technologies: Python, AI/LLM/MCP, Grafana, N8n, GitHub Workflows, Okta, Terraform, some Ruby and some Crystal

Résumé/CV: https://hxii.github.io or https://0xff.nu

Email: cv [at] glushak.net

I spent a decade in support, slowly automating myself out of every role until the tools I built became more valuable than the tickets I closed (at least to me). Now I write Python, creating internal tooling, LLM integrations and automations.

Current projects: hex (https://0xff.nu/hex), an AI executive assistant that manages my calendar, tasks, and Obsidian vault because my ADHD brain certainly won't, and sixwhyo (https://6yo.dev), a code reviewer powered by a 6-year-old's logic. Now also exploring iOS development to create an app I’ve been dreaming about.

I like simple and robust solutions over overly clever architecture, and am looking for a remote-first engineering role, not a support role with "engineer" in the title.

Location: Germany (CET/CEST)

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Laravel, PHP, Vue.js, Inertia.js, Livewire, React, TypeScript, Python/FastAPI, Node.js, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Tailwind, Docker, OpenAI/Anthropic/Google AI APIs

Resume/CV: https://www.vincentschmalbach.com/

Email: see profile

Freelance full-stack developer and AI engineer with 15+ years building web applications. My main lane is Laravel/Vue business software: SaaS products, internal tools, API-heavy apps, legacy PHP modernization, and projects that need an experienced person to stabilize them and move them forward.

I also build AI features into production software: OpenAI/Anthropic/Google API integrations, agent-style workflows, scraping/data pipelines, queues, and content/publishing systems.

Founder/operator background from SaaS, ecommerce, SEO/content, and marketplace projects, so I can help with product scope and business tradeoffs as well as implementation. Best fit: remote freelance or contract work, especially 20+ hours/week or focused rescue/build projects.

Location: Rotterdam, Netherlands (CEST/UTC+2

Role: Product Designer or Design Engineer

Type: Full-time (freelance or permanent)

Remote: Preferably, but open to hybrid in Randstad

Relocate: No, but fine with travelling for work on occasion

Technologies: HTML, (Tailwind) CSS, JS, TS

CV: https://mrkdbrn.com/CV_Mrkdbrn.pdf

Email: contact{at}mrkdbrn.com

I’m Mark, a Dutch product designer working from strategy to shipped code. Always have, it’s what got me hooked on design over a decade ago. Since, I’ve worn many hats working in startups and for myself.

I love collaborating with founders and small teams. By working across design, engineering, and product, I help them build simple, effective, and reliable software.

I’m ideally looking for a company where I get to go beyond making pictures of interfaces. A place where I get to work end-to-end from ideas to visuals to the finished product.

Location:Los Angeles

Remote: Yes

Relocation: Case-by-case

I'm an engineer and data professional interested in team-building, consulting and architecting data pipelines. At Edmunds.com, I worked on a fairly successful ad-tech product and my team bootstrapped a data pipeline using Spark, Databricks, and microservices built with Java, Python, and Scala.

At ATTN:, I re-built an ETL Kubernetes stack, including data loaders and extractors that handle >10,000 API payload extractions daily. I created SOPs for managing data interoperability with Facebook Marketing, Facebook Graph, Instagram Graph, Google DFP, Salesforce, etc.

More recently, I was the CTO and co-founder of a crypto gaming startup. We raised over $6M and I was in charge of building out a team of over a dozen remote engineers and designers, with a breadth of experience ranging from Citibank, to Goldman Sachs, to Microsoft. I moved on, but retain significant equity and a board seat.

I am also a minority owner of a coffee shop in northern Spain. That I'm a top-tier developer goes without saying. I'm interested in flexing my consulting muscle and can help with best practices, architecture, and hiring.

Would love to connect even if it's just for networking!

Remote: Yes (US timezones)

Technologies: Python, Django, htmx, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS, Postgres, Digital Ocean

Resume/CV: https://github.com/AshwinSundar/resume/blob/main/resume.md

Email: ashwin@sundarsoftware.com

I recently started Sundar Software LLC so that I may sell my software, MouseHouse (mousehouse.bio) to Harvard as a licensed vendor. I am looking to expand to more universities soon. In the meantime, one customer isn't enough to pay the bills, so I'm looking for part-time contractor work in the technologies described above. If you want some who understands Django and htmx inside and out, I'm your guy.
